XPEL Stealth?
#16
Brings up another topic...cquartz. I got cquartz a month ago on my wife's Macan. So far I'm not impressed. We've gotten scratches quite easily. For example, i lightly rubbed against the car when getting out of our other car in the garage, and noticed some fine scratches. Is this normal?

My build locks in a week and I'm having trouble deciding on color.
I currently have GT Silver spec'd. I was planning on doing partial XPEL Ultimate (front bumper, hood, front fenders, etc) and Modesta, cQuartz or similar. But I recently saw some pictures of XPEL stealth on other cars and it looked pretty good. I'm now thinking of going down that route. If I do, I think it would defeat the purpose of paying $2600 for GT Silver, and just go for basic white as I've always like matte white.
The cost of GT Silver + partial Xpel ultimate + Modesta is about equal to white + full Xpel stealth.
Is anyone familiar with XPEL Stealth? How does it look in person? How well does it hold up? And lastly, am I an idiot for considering doing matte on a GT4? Be honest...my feelings won't be hurt.

I think it looks great but I am not unbiased.
I didn't know Suntek has a matte version as well. From what I've read, most pay around $5000-$6000 for xpel stealth. I haven't received any quotes yet but figured I can find something in the lower end of the range if I tried hard enough.
I still have a hard time justifying it, but considering I would pay about $2500-3000 for a partial wrap plus modesta, this is only an extra $2500-3000 and I would have the entire car wrapped.

I have Xpel Stealth on my GTS and love it. Here's a shot I took just now. Cloudy day in London.
Car is a doddle to clean and doesn't get swirl marks. Wasted money on Gtechniq Crystal Serum before which did nothing. Highly recommend Xpel Stealth. What sold me on it was a GT Silver GT3 - looked unbelievable.

This is my personal opinion after having seen a lot of XP Stealth cars here at our facility. "Stealthing" white or black is pretty subjective. I tend to prefer the gloss-type finish. HOWEVER, "Stealth" on a silver car looks amazing. It has an almost sculpted finish that would look great laid out over the lines of a GT4.

Agreed. Stealth silver is great. I think part of the variation in how black and white ones look is to do with the nature of the colour in the first place. Black and white can be either metallic or not, and I think Stealth tends to look best on metallic finishes because you can still see all the flecks through it. A straight-up matte black finish is, let's face it, a bit 2010...
